Objectives: To analyze all cases of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) at our institution and to compare them with controls.
Methods: After the institutional review board approval, 13 biopsy-proven NSF cases were identified. Ten cases had complete records and were compared in a case-control format with 10 age- and sex-matched, dialysis-dependent controls.
Study Design: Patients undergoing spinal surgery were monitored for sodium balance, fluid type, and volume input and output during surgery and for the first 3 postoperative days.
Objective: To prospectively document the true incidence of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion and hyponatremia, and identify risk and protective factors for the development of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion after spinal surgery.
Methods: Data on medical history, surgical procedure, estimated blood loss, and volumes and types of intraoperative and postoperative fluids were collected on 116 consecutive spinal surgery patients during March to July 1992.
